GENEVA - The Geneva
Board of Education invites the community to the 2017 GenOvation Forum on
Tuesday, Nov. 14, to learn about the District’s use of innovative practices and
technologies in the classroom. Students and teachers from across grade levels
and schools will demonstrate innovative practices and technologies that are
helping to enhance learning during the 2017-18 school year. The open
house-style public forum will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. at Geneva High School
(416 McKinley Ave., Geneva).

The event is a chance for residents of Geneva School District to see how their
investments in education through their tax dollars are helping to prepare
Geneva’s young people for the future. Board members will be on hand to answer
questions from the community, and refreshments will be provided by the Viking
Coffee Shop.

“We encourage parents, grandparents and community members to stop in to explore
‘innovation stations’ and engage with students and teachers,” said
Superintendent Dr. Kent Mutchler.

The name of this year’s event stems from the District’s 2017-18 theme,
GenOvation, which emulates Geneva’s innovative practices, according to
Assistant Superintendent for Learning and Teaching Dr. Andrew Barrett. “We
strive to take risks and to employ relevant and meaningful practices for our
students,” he added.
